18 The wicked earns deceitful wages, But he who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward.
19 He who is truly righteous gets life. He who pursues evil gets death.
20 Those who are perverse in heart are an abomination to Yahweh, But those whose ways are blameless are his delight.
21 Most assuredly, the evil man will not be unpunished, But the seed of the righteous will be delivered.
22 Like a gold ring in a pig`s snout, Is a beautiful woman who lacks discretion.
23 The desire of the righteous is only good. The expectation of the wicked is wrath.
24 There is one who scatters, and increases yet more. There is one who withholds more than is appropriate, but gains poverty.
